Good evening, Lincoln families!

No School on Monday, January 16
School is closed Monday, Jan. 16 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday.

There are only 13 school days left of the 1^st semester.  Next Saturday, January 28^th will be a “Scholar Saturday” opportunity where students can take advantage of working with teachers at school from 8:00am-12:00pm.  Continue to encourage your student to put in the extra effort to improve their grades these last few weeks of the 1^st semester. 

Highlights from this week
